Love In The Time Of Cholera Page #2

- Fermina Daza.

- I am here.

We've written

too many letters

and too much time

has passed.

So now...

crowned goddess,

I make this vow.

I swear to you

my eternal fidelity

and everlasting love,

and I ask in all humility

to do me the great honor

of marrying me.

You...

you must give me time.

Fermina, say yes!

Fermina, I may not be married,

but I know about love.

Even if you're

dying of fear,

even if you are sorry later,

because whatever you do,

you will be sorry

all the rest of your life if you say no.

Believe me, I know

what I'm talking about.

Yes, very well.

I will marry you

if you... if you promise

not to make me eat

eggplant.

Who is he?

Who is he?

Who is he?

Who is this

Florentino Ariza?

Huh?

And Mother Superior

says that you write letters to him?

And you... you!

You are to blame.

No!

Aunt!

No!

No!

Daughter, daughter,

listen to your father.

Listen to your father.

Everything I do,

I do it because...

because I...

okay, I'll try.

I'll try, but...

but I have to... I have to ex...

I have to explain myself.

I have to explain myself.

It's difficult because I'm a plain man.

But ever since

your mother died,

you've been...

you've been...

a daughter...

a daughter is a jewel.

Is a jewel. I'm...

I'm... I'm a rough diamond, but you're...

you're...

you're the... the crown.

And I don't... I don't...

I don't work for me.

We didn't come here for me.

We came here for you.

For you!

But you don't know how...

just how beautiful you are.

You-you-you...

you're... you're...

you're much too beautiful

to marry a telegraph operator.

We have bigger fish to fry,

and believe me... believe me,

at your age,

love is an illusion.

Christ, by Christ I swear,

I swear,

I swear to Christ...

Good morning,

good morning.

You and I must talk...

man to man.

Ahhhh.

When my wife died

I set myself one goal.

One goal...

to turn my daughter

into a great lady.

Now that's... that's a long road

to travel for a mule trader.

I've never had a drink

this early in the morning.

Better start now.

You're going to need it.

I came to this town

because...

well, here was the possibility

of a grand marriage.

Then an unforeseen

obstacle

to the plan that I have

fought for with my life...

you.

So I've come to make

a polite request.

Get out of our way.

Have you spoken to her?

None of that. None of that.

This is a matter for men

and it will be decided

by men.

Be that as it may,

I cannot answer without knowing

what she thinks.

Don't force me

to shoot you.

Shoot me.

There is no greater glory

than to die for love.

Pack!

- Where are we going?

- To our death!

You'd better explain.

I'm not leaving.
